My feeling is that, while this might be yet another case which helps defeat DOMA, there may be no legal precedent for such a refund, since DOMA was in effect at the time. And anyway, when did the government ever willingly give back that kind of money?</p>chuck commented on 'Another Federal Judge Finds DOMA Unconstitutional'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef01761520975c970c2012-06-07T16:19:16Z2012-06-07T16:19:16ZchuckNone of these lower court decisions mean a thing if SCOTUS rejects them.

Very similar to what happened in Wisconsin: &quot;such a liberal state would never accept the Far-Right!&quot;. <br />

Our friends who were a couple of over 50 years and married last year in their home state of New York, for example. The older of the two men died at 92, six months after their marriage. The survivor not only got hit with estate taxes, but was denied pension benefits from his husbands&#39; former employer, Chase Bank. You go, ACLU!!!</p>MT commented on 'Another Federal Judge Finds DOMA Unconstitutional'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef016306367513970d2012-06-07T14:23:40Z2012-06-07T14:23:40ZMT@Josh and Oliver: I actually got caught up on that language too.
